GRADES

  Our county reporting system for grades 1-5 provides for four contacts to report pupil progress during the school year.  These will include one parent-teacher conference and three report cards that are sent home with the children.

            Students in grades 1 and 2 will receive a “1” to show the child is achieving satisfactory progress, or a “2” to show that a child needs more instruction time to achieve satisfactory progress in that area.  Students in grades 3-5 will receive letter grades of A, B, C, D, or E based upon individual performance according to the teacher’s estimate of a student’s ability.

            Guidelines established by our staff for the determination of these grades will be distributed to you at the beginning of the school year.

            If your child’s progress is unsatisfactory in any subject during the year, you will receive a progress report.  This will be sent home with the student at the midpoint of each grading period or as soon thereafter as it becomes apparent that a child is failing.  All progress reports should be signed by a parent and returned to the teacher so that we will know that you have received them.

HONOR ROLL

Students in grades 1-2 receive the  Good Student award while in grades 3-5 are encouraged to work hard to be on the Springhill Lake Honor Roll.  Our Honor Roll has been established for any child in grades 1 and 2 who receives all 1’s in Work Habits and Social Skills and any child in grades 3-5 who receives A in Work Habits and Social Skills on the report card.   Honor Roll students are honored at a quarterly assembly; they receive a certificate and Honor Roll ribbon.
